C When I was a teenager,my parents were never interested in the music I preferred.They said to me, "David,the music you like listening to is a lot of noise."At the same time,my father described the music that he liked as beautiful.As it turns out,they are not alone.As I grow older,I've often heard people of my age say,"Today's music is terrible."Many older people just don't like new music.But why is that? The mere exposure effect(纯粹接触效应)may explain this..It means the more familiar we are with something,the more likely we are to prefer it.When we are in our early teens,we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music and diseussing it with our friends.The new songs and singers during this time become familiar to us.After we turn 30 years old,we are busy working and raising our families.We don't have so much time to look for new music.Instead,we prefer to listen to our old favorites.According to studies,by the time we turn 33 years old,most of us will completely stop exploring new music. But I think there is another reason for older people's dislike of new music.Most new music,after all, not written for themn.It is made for young people.Some types of music began as a rebellion by young people against out-of-date ways of doing things.These types include punk,rap,hip-hop,heavy metal and more.They naturally interest younger listeners. 4 Do your parents dislike the music you like,too?Now,after reading this article,you know there is nothing wrong with that. )26.Why do many older people dislike new music?
